Someone on this forum made that I think, its fake.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're playing Fallon however.

We'll know today. 10c said they have an important tv announcement.
Letterman would make sense. They're in NY that week. I thought Fallon was in LA?

Same. It started off pretty great, and keeps getting better. I love albums that grow.

I like that lyric, but I also think it's taken from Light Years and tweaked.

If someone with a physical copy could transcribe lyrics that would be neat?

Getaway, from @watchitgotofire:
Spoiler: show
Everyone's a critic looking back up the river
Every boat is leaking in this town
Everybody's thinking that they'll all be delivered
Sitting in a box like lost and found

But I found my place and it's alright
We all searching for our better way
Get yours off my plate, it's alright
I got my own way to believe

Find a lighthouse in the dark stormy weather
We all could use a sedative right now
Holy rollers sittin' with their backs to the middle
All hands on deck sinking is the bow

And if you wanna have to pray, it's alright
We all be thinking with our different brains
Get yours off my plate, it's alright
I got my own way to believe

It's OK,
Sometimes you find yourself
Having to put all your faith
In no faith
Mine is mine, and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway

Science says we're making love like the lizards
Try and say that fossils ain't profound
Simon says that we are not allowed to consider
Simon says "Stand-up. Sit-down. You're Out!"

But I found my place, and it's alright
Bearing witness to some stranger days
Get yours off my plate, it's alright
I got my own way to believe

It's OK
Sometimes you find yourself
Being told to change your ways
There's no way
Mine is mine and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway

It's OK,
Sometimes you find yourself
Having to put all your faith
In no faith
Mine is mine, and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway

It's OK,
Sometimes you find yourself
Having to put all your faith
In no faith
Mine is mine, and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway

Make your getaway

Infallible, from @watchitgotofire:
Spoiler: show
Keep on locking your doors
Keep on building your floors
Keep on just as before

Pay disasters no mind
Didn't get you this time
No prints left at the crime

Our ship's come in
And it's sinking

Of everything that's possible
In the hearts and minds of men

Somehow it is the biggest things
That keep on slipping
Right through our hands

By thinking we're infallible
We are tempting fate instead

Time we best begin
Here at the ending

Wanna third second chance
Put your faith in big hands
Pay no more than a glance

All good things come to an end
This could be as good as it gets
How's the view from the fence?

You think we been here before
You are mistaken

Of everything that's possible
In the hearts and minds of men

When progress could be plausible
In reverse we curse ourselves

By thinking we're infallible
We are tempting fate instead

Time we best begin
Here at the ending

Of everything that's possible
In the hearts and mind sof mend

Somehow it is the biggest things
That keep on slipping
Right through our hands

By thinking we're infallible
We are tempting fate instead

Time we best begin
Here at the ending

Keep on locking your doors
Keep on building your floors
Keep on just as before

Pendulum
Spoiler: show
Can't know what's high
Til you been down so low

The future's bright
Lit up with no where to go

To and fro the pendulum throws

We are here and then we go
My shadow left me long ago

Understand what we don't know
This might pass, this might last, this may grow

Easy come and easy go
Easy left me a long time ago

I'm in the fire, but I'm still cold
Nothing works, works for me anymore

To and fro the pendulum throws
To and fro the pendulum throws

To and fro
To and fro

Man, Pendulum sounds great with headphones on. They make use of the binural effect again.

Sirens
Spoiler: show
Hear the Sirens
Hear the Sirens

Hear the sirens
Hear the circus so profound

I hear the sirens
more and more in this here town

Let me catch my breath to breathe
and reach across the bed

Just to know we're safe
I am a grateful man

The slightest bit of light
and I can see you clear

Have to take your hand
and feel your breath
for fear this someday will be over

I pull you close, so much to lose
knowing that nothing lasts forever

I didn't care, before you were here
I danced in laughter with the everafter

But all things change
Let this remain

Hear the sirens
Covering distance in the night

The sound echoing closer
Will they come for me next time

For every choice mistake I've made
It's not my plan

To send you in the arms of
another man

And if you choose to stay I'll wait
I'll understand

It's a fragile thing
This life we lead

If I think too much I can get over
whelmed by the grace

By which we live our lives
with death over our shoulders

Want you to know
that should I go I always loved you
held you high above, true

I study your face
and the fear goes away

It's a fragile thing
this life we lead

If I think too much I can get over
whelmed by the grace

By which we live our lives
with death over our shoulder

Want you to know
that should I go I always loved you
held you high above, true

I study your face
and the fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away

Aah ah, oh oh
Aah ah, oh oh

So basically, official lyrics-wise, I need the 8 I haven't posted (ie: everything but Sirens, Getaway, Infallible & Pendulum).

I'd like to send a few of these songs to a friend with lyrics, so starting with l-bolt and yellow moon would be keen :)

I feel pretty confident in my Yellow Moon lyrics but i can not for the life of me hear the last line before the first chorus.
There's the dog. You can't fake that stuff. Confess with your mouth.
